For slash i would say Briton and stick points in str,con,quick

Wont bother with specs as it matter of preference. Best would be decent CS/envenom so you can try hit and runs on casters in keeps as that where all the action seems to be atm.

tbh roll a scout..

I've already played a Slash inf...she was very strong, just debuffs hurt her damage (from like 300+ a swing to 150) if was going to reroll i'd try a Thrust inf.
You can probaley ToA a thrust inf if you put enough time and effort(read money) into it, capping both Str cap and dex cap will give you massive damage.

I'm sure you've worked all this out yourself
Thrust-
Saracen
10 in str/con/dex

Slash-
Briton
15 in Str, 10 in con

Bigchief, your a good inf, what did you start out as and are you trust or slash?
And i dont wanna roll a scout, i wanna se some melee battle and if i dont wanna get zerged i guess inf is the place to go.
And atm i got no problems with money, rvr on sorc is like getting rare drops evry 10 sec, just in gold :)

playing an inf is not that much fun after nf release imo, the main point of stealthers were the mg fights and they have been totally removed.. you cant really fight sbs/nss nowdays, and mostly they wont be alone, i havent seen any stealther enemy alone tbh for like a month..

so only roll an inf if you have enough money for the best arties(malice, battler, som, gov.. etc), good bb, friends who you can always go with...

if you have all, than you might find something fun in it.

slash infil is very nice, DW might be better in longer combats, but CS bigger fun for sure.

i suggest a spec that caps the 50 stealth with sc, 50 slash, 50 cs, rest split between envenom/dw.
or 50 stealth, 50 slash, 50 dw, 21 CS/1CS, rest envenom.

have fun

Briton 15 str 10 con slash spec 50 slash 44 cs, 35 stealth or so would I go if I made an inf today. Much easier making a template for slash and imo it's funnier.

no point really going 50 slash, just need 51 modified in slash, he should be using CS styles anyway. With thrust its debatable. :m00:

Some rare drops you cant buy :p

Anyway,

I've always been thrust, but if I was making an infil now I would prolly go slash. As people say its easier to sc and you can use battler and malice (although personally I think id rather go Malice/croc tooth, with battler in 2h slot for charge). Though ppl will argue its worth having a LW in there :) If going slash 51mod spec is fine, go 50cs. If you go thrust id go 50thrustspec for DF.

Advantages of thrust: off evade stun, high ws, str/con debuff doesnt hurt as much, doesnt matter when fighting hib leather/studded (though LW negates that anyway).

Advantages of slash: Easier to sc, can go 'mod spec' and save alot of points, can use good artifacts for weapons.

The disadvantages are the opposites ofc :p

The growth rate on Diamond Slash makes it work going 50 Slash (imho) One thing i didn't like with Slash was my weaponskill compaired to BC's :p even capping Str cap etc.

I've respecced to 36 Slash, 50CS, 35 Stealth, 33 DW, 33 Env, and noticed very little difference from, 50slash, 44cs, 18 DW spec I had before. However, I'm using faster weapons now, so overall I'm probably doing a fair bit more damage I think. Also offhand swings a lot more so thats nice. I don't have a problem with missing due to low weaponskill really, although I have to admit I'd prefer Amy slash over Garotte.

50 cs. no 44 cs or 39 cs

FIFTY CS

and spec slash so it gets effective 51 skill at the RR you ar with

some tests showed that showed Ws is fake and if our a Csassasin you might aswell spec 36 slash at rr5 for example for a 51 effective skill and use cs styles for strong dmg ;d

Corac in my guild have tried it out as slash and the tests are correct.

hehe, i know, Illtarus told me about it. But isnt 50 modfied same as 51? no reason for 36 slash at rr5, go 35?

It caps at 51, not 50.

My sara inful (rr4) is spec'd

50 cs
37 thrust
36 env
36 stealth
rest dw.

Works fine tbh, as the only thrust style i ever used was dragonfang, but the hamgstring chain is much than that imo.

You're crazy having such high stealth, 36 is enough tbh. Rr4 isn't massively hard to come by.

They should ban all "non-rpg" related names, or atleast the pointless ones.. in my opinion :eek:

More slash more ws, it's all about WS.

briton lvl 50:

90+75+26+93+62 = 346 str, 50+11 slash = 1508 ws @ rr1

90+75+26+93+62 = 346 str, 50+11 slash = 1383 ws @ rr1


Don't like the drop of ws, 1383 is nothing, 1508 is okay when it comes to dealing damage. 1400~ = pueh. There's a nice dif between 1400 and 1500, atleast what I noticed.
